G             C      G
Oh love, you were a sickly child
    Em       C                G
And how the wind knocked you down
Em
Put on your spurs, swagger around
        G         C          G
In the desperate kingdom of love

Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes will not help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through
The desperate kingdom of love

Dm                   Am           C         G
There's another who looks from behind your eyes
   Dm        Am   C      G
I learn from you how to hide
G                   C          G
From the desperate kingdom of love

G               C          G
At the end of this burning world
Em             C   Em       C
You'll stand proud, face upheld
Em              C   Em               C
And I'll follow you, into Heaven or Hell
Em          C  Em      C
And I'll become, as a girl

        G         C          G
In the desperate kingdom of love
